This actually happened. Some parts are rearranged to make a more coherent story.

Salem MacGourley:
So I have this action figure of Bellatrix LeStrange. I'm not a Harry Potter fan, and in fact have not even seen the film that she's in, but she's a totally badass representation of Helena Bonham Carter, and I have a weakness for Helena Bonham Carter.

I hate that the figure is not very posable (waist swivel, severely limited ball joint neck, thigh swivels), but the worst part of this is that there is virtually NO pose she can hold that she won't fall over immediately.

I'm seriously about to take a box cutter to this woman's boots.

Katrina Roets:
I read that as boobs and thought wow, is she that top heavy?

Salem MacGourley:She's rather realistically proportioned, which is a refreshing change in action figure sculpting. Just one of the legs is molded at such an angle that the boots are unbalanced, and her skirts aren't long enough to balance the figure and it's driving me to irrational levels of frustration.

These boots are awesome, but they were sculpted wrong. The heel on the right boot is too short, putting her forever off balance. Part of this boot is coming off.
